If you are checking the Maytag V19zBG53(3B), this site calculates 759 kWh a year at DOE's test use. That figure assumes an electric water heater and an electric dryer; water use is 6,723 gallons a year. Its IMEF, the cubic feet of laundry washed per kilowatt-hour, dryer included, is 2.06, above the class median of 1.57.
Energy and water per year
759 kWh a year with an electric water heater and an electric dryer
Computed by this site from the registry's IMEF and drum capacity at DOE's test use of 295 cycles a year. IMEF counts the washer, heating its water electrically, and the electric dryer's work on what the spin leaves wet — so this is the total for that kind of home. How it is calculated
The machine and its hot water alone, dryer not included: 270 kWh a year, as ENERGY STAR files it.
Not published: A home with a gas water heater, a gas dryer or line drying
DOE's rating assumes electric water heating and an electric dryer and files no split between the machine, the water heating and the drying.
Such a home uses less electricity than the total above; how much less, no registry says for this model.
6,723 gallons of water a year
Computed from the registry's IWF and drum capacity at the same 295 cycles a year.
Not published: What the water costs
water and sewer rates are set by thousands of local utilities and no free national source publishes them.
The gallons above are the figure to multiply by your own water and sewer rate.
This model is rated above the federal minimum IMEF for its class.

The 759 kWh figure does not appear in the DOE Compliance Certification Database (CCD). This site derives it from the registry's IMEF and the model's capacity, the drum's volume in cubic feet. For this washer that capacity is 5.3, and the CCD data was retrieved on 2026-10-25. Because IMEF counts the dryer, the yearly figure includes the electricity used to dry each load. ENERGY STAR files a separate machine-only figure of 270 kWh a year for this model. It covers the washer and its electrically heated water alone, with the dryer left out. The data holds no yearly figure for a home with a gas water heater or a gas dryer. The steps are set out in the method behind the yearly energy and water figures.
Read the rest
The water figure of 6,723 gallons a year comes from the registry's IWF, the gallons of water used per cycle for each cubic foot of drum. For this model the IWF is 4.3. This site multiplies it by the 5.3 cubic-foot capacity, using the same yearly test use as the energy figure. The page does not show what that water costs. No free national source publishes local water and sewer rates, so any amount would be an estimate. Electricity running cost is also left out of this text. It depends on the reader's own utility tariff, so the page computes it from the ZIP code the reader enters. The installed price appears in its own block, with its source and date, as a modeled range rather than a quote.
The comparison class is the 870 models registered as top-loading washers of standard size. By IMEF, this model ranks 37th highest of the 870. Its IMEF of 2.06 sits above the class median of 1.57. In the same class, 652 models are rated at the federal minimum IMEF, while this one is rated above it. The rank covers the registered IMEF only; a class rank for IWF is not available. The registry lists the model as sold under MVW7232H**. Other models in the same class can be checked through all clothes washer pages, where each page uses the same yearly test use and class definition.
